G125: Red Sox 5, Blue Jays 0

Buchholz (6-5-0-3-7, 97) extended his scoreless inning streak to a career-best 20, though he had to wiggle out of a few jams against the Jays. Toronto left two men on base in the first, second, and sixth innings.

Buchholz lowered his AL-leading ERA to 2.26. He has not allowed an earned run in 23.2 innings.

Marcum (7-4-3-0-6, 91) had set down the first 12 Boston batters before David Ortiz opened the fifth with a triple -- to left-center! Adrian Beltre doubled and it was 1-0. After two were outs, Bill Hall launched a rocket over everything in left. In the seventh, Ryan Kalish doubled and Marco Scutaro walked. They both scored as Victor Martinez and Ortiz had RBI singles.

After Daniel Bard pitched the seventh, Felix Doubront took the final two innings, allowing only two baserunners (a one-out single in the eighth and a HBP with two outs in the ninth).

The Yankees beat the Mariners 10-0 and the Rays beat the A's 3-2. New York holds its one-game lead over Tampa Bay, with Boston 6.5 GB. The Red Sox are 5.5 GB the Rays in the wild card race.

5:04 PM: Buchholz still out there in the third. 49 pitches before the delay, 51 through 3. (Marcum still in, too.)

4:05 PM: The tarp is back on the infield, with Blue Jays batting in the top of the third, two outs, a runner on first, and a 1-1 count on Adam Lind.

An official language is a language that is given a special legal status in a particular country, state, or other jurisdiction. Typically a nation's official language will be the one used in that nation's courts, parliament and administration.[1] However, official status can also be used to give a language (often indigenous) a legal status, even if that language is not widely spoken. For example, in New Zealand the Māori language has official status under the Māori Language Act even though it is spoken by less than five percent of the New Zealand population.[2] Non-national or supra-national organizations such as the United Nations and the European Union may also have official languages.

Yeah, and Dusty Brown can come in and since he hasn't warmed up properly, he would hit HH in the ankle with a throwback, sending him to the DL, and on his way off the field HH would step on Lowell's foot, driving his spike through a toe and sending him to the DL.

I read Allan's post questioning Greek Goddess and couldn't figure out what he was questioning. I know he read Moneyball, I know he knows Youk's nickname. I had to look at it for a few seconds before it hit me

Napping - notsomething I get to do often but I'm definitely in and out of nap zone today. As mentioned earlier - VERY little sleep last night. Much like our hosts, I would presume. I was at a local version of wmtc part, a bbq bash at a campground right at the foot of Pilot Mountain. Beautiful. And I actually grew a pair and played with some of my buddies in the band at the late night acoustic jam around the fire. (Guitar, that is) In front of total strangers even. They've been after me to do more than just jam with them in the practice garage....

of course, if nyy falls off and starts losing like crazy, then the rays can be in first and we can chase the mfy for the wc. either way. but i think the rays slumping is more likely than the yankees doing so.

i'm sick of getting shit ads from them emailed to me, so the bottom of the one they just sent, it sez:

So I click unsubscribe, because I no longer want to receive commercial email messages, and it takes me to a page to unsubscribe me from the red sox NEWSLETTER. i enjoyed the newsletter, just not the bombardment of spam email from them. guess i have to put up with that shit in order to get the newsletter. oh well, fuck em. it didnt really provide any useful info.****
